It&#8217;s now the #6 top favorited movie this week under &#8220;Gaming&#8221; on YouTube.  It&#8217;s also the #6 most watched gaming video in New Zealand.  (Far outpacing interest in other countries.) I had no idea I had so many fans down there. Hello, New Zealanders. I love your accents.  Your country is beautiful. <\/p>\n<p><table class='nomargin' cellspacing='0' width='100%' cellpadding='0' align='center' border='0'><tr><td><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-d2-PtK4F6Y\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen class=\"embed\"><\/iframe><br\/><small><a href='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-d2-PtK4F6Y'>Link (YouTube)<\/a><\/small><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, thanks to everyone for spreading the thing around.  I do think that lots of public interest is a great motivator for taking care of a project after the fun parts are over with.  We&#8217;ve very much entered the dull grounds keeping and janitorial phase of software engineering here, and knowing people are still using the software and following the project gives me a reason to make sure everything is as polished as possible given my miserly time budget and general indolence towards projects that have left the experimentation stage. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, thanks to those who have worked on the project over at <a href=\"http:\/\/github.com\/skeeto\/pixelcity\/tree\/master\">GitHub<\/a>.  I&#8217;ve brought some of your changes back into my own codebase.  If we had a forum over there we&#8217;d be golden. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re one of the people who has reported 5 minute loading times with Pixel City, would you be so good as to try this download and report the results?
